Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at it with numbers!

a=-2 , b=4

a*2b is -2*2(4)  ---> -2*8 ---> -16

If you multiple a negative and a negative it will be positive, but if you multiply a positive and a negative it will be negative;

+ * + = +

+ * - = -

- * -  = +

I hope this helps!

Which inequality is represented by the graph?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

B: 4/5x -2y ≥ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing I always look for is the y-intercept which in this case is around -1.5 (-1\frac{1}{2}). That will be your constant (b) in y = mx + b. Then calculate the slope which will be your m in the equation. Visually, I would estimate it is around \frac{2}{5}. So now, your equation is y = \frac{2}{5}x -1 \frac{1}{2\\}. Next we want to figure out what the inequality will be. The shaded part is underneath the line, which means that y must be less than where the line is. Therefore the inequality will be y ≤ \frac{2}{5}x -1 \frac{1}{2\\}.

Now in this question, the answers available are not in this form. The next step would be to multiply every part of the inequality by 2 (it is essential that all parts are multiplied) so that you get 2y ≤  \frac{4}{5}x -3. The last step is to rearrange the inequality so that it matches the answers on the question.

3 ≤  \frac{4}{5}x - 2y

\frac{4}{5}x - 2y ≥ 3
